Matrix Ranma Style
Chapter 3: Show Me!
Ranma waited in anxious anticipation to see what the object Koji was about to pull out would be. She thought it would be a gun, that would be enough to convince some people to follow him but in was instead a small black leather case about the size of Koji's hand.
"What the hell is that?" Ranma asked.
"Wait till I open it," Koji said. Ranma looked on with nervousness. As Koji opened it, she saw something red and small. It was a red pill.
"A pill?"
"Yup, this thing will bring you that you out of whatever you have been in." Koji smiled. (Which is, the Matrix.) "It will, in a sense, remove you from what you have always been living in." Ranma was confused; she tried to think out what he said. (Well, I have always been living with my curse since Jusenkyo so that means that it would remove the curse? It will bring me out of what I have been in, Jusenkyo? So this must be a cure for my curse, or is it?)
"Is it a cure to my curse?"
"A cure to your curse? Of course its no-I mean of course it is! Yeah, that's right!" (Ha! She thinks it's a cure to her curse! This is so perfect man.) "Uh huh, yeah, a cure to your curse. That's what it is, a cure to your curse." Koji seemed a little TOO enthusiastic.
"Well then, show me."
"Yeah, that's-what?"
"I said, show me." Koji fell down. (Crap, now what?)
"How? I ain't got exactly any volunteers to try out for you, well, except for you."
"Just give me the pill, I got a plan." (I'll just go to the Cat Café and ask out Shampoo for lunch. When she's not looking, I'll slip it into her bowl. If it works, I'll get rid of Shampoo's cat curse and see that it works! Like killing a bird with two stones.)
"A plan?" (What could this girl have? Cursed friends?)
"Yeah, just give me the pill already!"
"Okay okay. Here." Koji warily handed the redhead the pill. (Damn, hope she doesn't give it to somebody else.)
***************************************************************************
"Hi Ranma!" greeted Shampoo as he walked in.
"Hey Shampoo!" Mousse looked on with slight agitation. (Isn't it enough he squirmed his way out of the wedding? Now he has to go in here and steal my Shampoo!?") They were in the Cat Café, Koji waited outside. (This place doesn't look so strange.)
"So Shampoo." Ranma nervously asked. "You want to have lunch?"
"Oh! Ranma ask Shampoo out on a date?" Mousse gritted his teeth together. (What's this?!)
"S-s-sure," Ranma stuttered.
"You make me so happy!" Shampoo squealed as she hugged Ranma.
"Hehehe, lets just eat now huh?"
"Of course! Mousse, make food for us." Mousse looked on indignantly while Cologne looked delighted.
"I finally see you've come to your senses son-in-law?"
"No, nothing like that."
"Sure, sure," Cologne laughed as she hopped away on her staff. Ranma sat down nervously at the chair. (I sure hope I don't give anybody the wrong idea.) Koji looked inside the restaurant with interest. (Who's that Chinese chick? She looks hot!) Mousse came with the food; he probably would've slipped some kind of poison powder in the ramen if it weren't for the fact that Cologne was watching him like a hawk. She was literally breathing down his neck.
"Hey, thanks Mousse!" Ranma thanked enthusiastically. Koji continued to watch with curiosity. (Moose? What kind of name is that?) Ranma ate the ramen and looked for any opportunity to slip the pill in Shampoo's bowl. Problem was, Shampoo was staring at him during the whole time he was eating. "Mind not staring at me?" he asked.
"Why?" she teased. Ranma was getting nowhere with this. (Need to resort my special martial arts techniques.) Ranma pointed behind Shampoo.
"What's that?!"
"Huh?" Shampoo turned around. Ranma quickly placed the pill in her bowl, despite the fact she hadn't eaten any of it. Koji looked on still. (So he's giving her the pill huh? Wait, that means she's cursed. That's funny; I wonder what she turns into?) "There's nothing there."
"Well there was, it's just gone now."
"Why Ranma point behind Shampoo?"
"No reason, just trust me."
"You sure it wasn't just angry girl standing there?"
"Angry girl?" Ranma looked to where he pointed and he saw Akane walking away. (Crap! She must have seen everything. Need to explain to her what's really going on. Hope she's still not miffed at me. What am I saying? This is Akane; of course she's miffed. No use adding wood to the fire.) "Shampoo, why won't you finish up your bowl?" (Need to get this over with first.)
"No, Shampoo not hungry."
"What?!"
"Shampoo say, not hungry." She grabbed her bowl and emptied it into the sink. Ranma mentally kicked himself in the head. (Damn it!) Koji was somewhat relieved. (Good, she didn't take it. Suzaki probably would've fried me for that. Oh well, how everything works out my way.) Ranma walked out of the restaurant and bumped into Koji on the way out.
"Hey!" Koji let out.
"Huh? Oh sorry."
"Don't worry about it, I'm gonna go now." Ranma raised an eyebrow. (He comes to me trying to convince me to follow him now he running away?) Koji thought while he was running. (I need a new pill! Maybe I should try a more less direct approach.) Ranma watched him run away behind a building. (So much for this mess.) He looked in the direction of the Tendo household. (Need to get it through Akane's thick head what REALLY happened.) He sighed as he embarked on his way home.
***************************************************************************
(That Ranma! Of all the nerve, sneaking behind my back and going out with Shampoo like that.) Akane brought her hand down to break the bricks in half. Crack! (When I see him, I swear I'm just gonna kill him!) She yet broke another set of bricks. Crack! (Grrr, where's an effigy when you need one?)
"Yo 'kane!" Akane recognized that voice. (Now what, he comes to rub it in my face?)
"What?!!"
"It wasn't what it looked like!"
"Oh, are you talking about your lunch date with Shampoo."
"Look! It wasn't a date, you gotta stop taking things the wrong way."
"Oh really?!"
"Look, about yesterday. Those same people that kidna-,"
"I don't want to hear this again! I'm going back in the house!" Akane walked back into the house. Ranma looked dejected. (So much for that.) There was somebody watching him. (Man, this chick is pretty hard.) The bushes rustled as Koji moved in them.
"Ranma, Akane! I made some lemonade for you two!" Kasumi yelled out in a motherly tone. Ranma walked back into the house.
"Thanks Kasumi, I was getting kind of thirsty." He looked around; there was no sign of Akane.
"You're welcome," she replied. He grabbed the glass of lemonade but immediately let go and jumped as a blade attached to a knife flew by.
"Hey! I was gonna drink that!"
"Shut up! Ranma, you have crossed the lines that you'd wish you've never crossed!" Mousse yelled. Koji was in the house hiding behind some furniture. (Man, who is that chick that made the lemonade? This guy's surrounded with chicks, what a lucky guy! Anyway, looks like he's busy fighting with the Moose dude, here's my chance to put it in his lemonade!) He stealthily tiptoed his way to the table as Ranma and Mousse were squaring off with each other. He took out the case and opened it to reveal the red pill. He took it and put it in the glass. All of a sudden, he was stepped on by Mousse.
"Ooof!" Koji blurted. Mousse threw his usual assortment of offensive weapons from his sleeve.
"Come on Mousse, you know you can't beat me."
"Quiet!" Ranma yawned as he moved in and out. Then a chain grabbed his foot. "Ha!" Mousse swung the chain and flung Ranma out the door. But the pig-tailed martial artist however, naturally landed on his two feet. Mousse ran out and the battle continued. Koji lay stunned and slowly got up. (Argh, I gotta get out of here.) Akane walked down from the stairs. (What's all this noise about?) She looked out the window and saw the fight between the two guys.
"Oh, I hope Mousse wins." She went over to the table and grabbed her glass of lemonade. Ranma was covered in chains, but that didn't bother him. Mousse however, was enthusiastic.
"Die Ranma!!!" Mousse lounged with a mace and was about to whack Ranma's head in. Akane was drinking her lemonade watching the fight go on. The chains that bound Ranma were broken and he grabbed Mousse from the air. Using the momentum from Mousse's jump, he swung him around into the pond.
"Quack quack!!!" Ranma let out a sigh. Akane wasn't surprised at the outcome.
"Hmmm, I wonder why he wanted to fight you Ranma?"
"Huh? Because he-never mind."
"Because you were on a date with Shampoo! Don't lie to me Ranma, why else would Mousse attack you?"
"Jeez Akane, he ALWAYS attacks me. I don't know what you're talking about."
"Admit it!" Akane wasn't mad, well yeah she was but she was more concerned with trapping Ranma and forcing him to admit the truth. But come on, like she's going to believe it.
"There's nothing to admit! Get it through your thick skull that nothing happened okay?" Akane's anger started to rise.
"What about you, you insensitive jerk?"
"What about me? At least I'm better than you in martial arts." Akane hated it to see that Ranma was superior to her in everyway of the Art.
"Shut up! What's that coming from a half guy and girl?" Ranma flinched. He didn't like people to talk about his curse. "You pervert!"
"I'm not perverted okay?"
"Then explain to me all the times you snuck into my room."
"Well because P-Chan-never mind."
"That's another thing! Stop picking P-Chan, what has he ever done to you?!" Ranma rolled his eyes. (More than you think stupid.)
"Why won't you just listen for on-hey! Are you drinking my lemonade?"
"Quit changing the subject!"
"Are you?"
"Yeah! So what?"
Well what do you think, please R&R!
